Introducing Flux ControlNet Union Pro 2.0 on WaveSpeedAI

WaveSpeedAI is excited to announce the availability of Flux ControlNet Union Pro 2.0, a breakthrough in multi-condition image control that gives creators unprecedented precision over AI-generated imagery. Whether you’re working on character design, architectural visualization, or complex creative compositions, this unified ControlNet model delivers exceptional control without the complexity of managing multiple separate models.

What is Flux ControlNet Union Pro 2.0?

Developed by Shakker Labs and built on the powerful FLUX.1-dev foundation, Flux ControlNet Union Pro 2.0 represents a significant leap forward in controlled image generation. This innovative model consolidates five distinct conditioning modes—Canny edge detection, Depth mapping, Soft Edge, Pose estimation, and Grayscale conversion—into a single, streamlined architecture.

Unlike traditional ControlNet implementations that require loading separate models for each control type, Union Pro 2.0 handles everything in one efficient package. The model was trained from scratch using 20 million high-quality images over 300,000 training steps, resulting in exceptional precision and visual aesthetics.

What’s New in Version 2.0

The second generation brings meaningful improvements over its predecessor:

  • Reduced footprint: Model size decreased from 6.15GB to 3.98GB through architectural optimizations
  • Enhanced precision: Improved Canny edge and Pose control for better accuracy and visual quality
  • New soft edge support: Added AnylineDetector-based soft edge conditioning
  • Optimized architecture: 6 double blocks with streamlined processing for faster inference

Key Features and Capabilities

Five Conditioning Modes in One

  • Canny Edge Detection: Extract and preserve precise edge details for faithful scene translation
  • Depth Mapping: Control spatial relationships and 3D depth perception in generated images
  • Soft Edge: Apply subtle edge guidance using AnylineDetector for organic, natural-looking results
  • Pose Estimation: Direct human figure positioning using DWPose for accurate character placement
  • Grayscale Conditioning: Maintain tonal relationships and lighting consistency

Multi-Condition Stacking

One of the most powerful features is the ability to combine multiple control modes simultaneously. Use Depth + Pose together to achieve precise character positioning with accurate spatial relationships. Stack Canny + Grayscale for images that preserve both structural details and lighting characteristics.

Flexible Integration

Flux ControlNet Union Pro 2.0 works as a standalone solution or combines seamlessly with other ControlNet models for complex multi-modal workflows. This flexibility makes it adaptable to virtually any creative pipeline.

Real-World Use Cases

Character Design and Animation

Game developers and animation studios leverage the Pose and Depth modes to maintain character consistency across multiple frames and scenes. Create pose-accurate portraits, iterate on character designs while preserving proportions, and generate consistent multi-image series for storyboarding.

Architectural Visualization

Transform rough sketches into photorealistic renderings using Canny edge control for structural accuracy combined with Depth conditioning for proper spatial relationships. Explore stylistic variations while maintaining architectural precision.

Product Photography and E-Commerce

Generate product images with controlled angles, lighting, and composition. The Grayscale mode ensures consistent tonal relationships across product catalogs, while edge detection preserves fine product details.

Concept Art Development

Rapidly iterate on creative concepts while maintaining visual coherence. Artists use the unified control system to explore variations without losing the core composition or character proportions that define their vision.

Motion and Video Production

Direct AI outputs for motion sequences with consistent character positioning and background shaping. The multi-condition approach adapts to the complex requirements of video content creation.
